No COVID Vax, No College?

Arts For Action The Broward Center Addresses Critical Issues Of Social Justice

By Jane M. Orient, M.D.

So, what can students do?

Be cheerful or reluctant participants in a massive uncontrolled experiment and hope for the best? Seek an exemption? Or pause their education plans - and outrageous tuition?

Students looking forward to getting back to college are getting letters from 100 to 200 colleges notifying them of a new prerequisite: getting fully vaccinated against COVID-19. As one letter states, this is because of our “our continued desire to protect the health and safety of our community.” This includes high-risk individuals in the surrounding community or wherever the students go in the “mass migration” at the end of the semester, according to the American College Health Association (ACHA).

The main purpose of the requirement is not to protect the students themselves. Of all COVID deaths, only about 0.1% have been in 15-to-24-year-olds.

Yet, young people can suffer death or serious disability after getting the jab. (Authorities point out that it is not necessarily because of the jab.) According to a controversial independent analysis, the aggressive Israeli vaccination campaign killed more than 200 times as many young people, as the Coronavirus itself, No College?, Page 6A

We All Need To Unite Against This Hate

By Hallandale Beach Mayor, Joy Cooper

This is sad, that we as Jewish people, are still fighting AntiSemitism in America, it was wonderful to see so many people join in supporting those in Harm’s way. Make no mistake, Hammas is a terrorist organization. They have continued to vow to wipe Israel off of the map. I, personally have witnessed the impact of war on the peaceful communities in Israel, when I visited after the last attacks.

Imagine walking down your street and your neighbor’s home, is in rubble or having to seek shelter when air raid horns sound?

Israel, is the only democratic country in the Middle East. The history of this region cannot be rewritten to suit one nation or country. As a note, when I went with the US Conference of Mayors to Saudi Arabia, the Museum did not even have Israel on their version of the world map. Many that I spoke with, supported a two-state solution, but certainly, are not vocal about their positions. At the rally, I had the chance to speak with an older gentleman about the history of the region. History is so important to understand, the centuries of oppression. He summed it up in an email to me.

The major point, being that there was never a Palestinian State.

“Before Israel, there was a British mandate, not a Palestinian state. Before the British Mandate, there was the Ottoman Empire, not a Palestinian state. Before the Ottoman Empire, there was the Islamic state of the Mamluks of Egypt, not a Palestinian state.

Before the Islamic state of the Mamluks of Egypt, there was the Ayubid Arab-Kurdish Empire, not a Palestinian state. Godfrey IV of Boulogne, known as Godfrey de Bouillon, conqueror of Jerusalem in 1099, before the Ayubid Empire, there was the Frankish and Christian Kingdom of Jerusalem, not a Palestinian state. Before the Kingdom of

On May 23rd, 2021 a group of Hallandale & Beaches Patriots members along with Hallandale Beach Mayor Joy Cooper & Commissioner Anabelle Lima-Taub joined to rally with Israelis, Jews and Christians from all over to cheer, dance, pray and hear Passionate speakers.

Jerusalem, there was the Umayyad and Fatimid empires, not a Palestinian state. Before the Umayyad and Fatimid empires, there was the Byzantine Empire, not a Palestinian state.

Before the Byzantine Empire, there were the Sassanids, not a Palestinian state. Before the Sassanid Empire, there was the Byzantine Empire, not a Palestinian state. Before the Byzantine Empire, there was the Roman Empire, not a Palestinian state. Before the Roman Empire, there was the Hasmonean state, not a Palestinian state. Before the Hasmonean state, there was the Seleucid, not a Palestinian state. Before the Seleucid Empire, there was the Empire of Alexander the Great, not a Palestinian state. Before the Empire of Alexander the Great, there was the Persian Empire, not a Palestinian state. Before

the Persian Empire, there was the Babylonian Empire, not a Palestinian state. Before the Babylonian Empire, there were the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah, not a Palestinian state.

Before the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah, there was the Kingdom of Israel, not a Palestinian state. Before the Kingdom of Israel, there was the theocracy of the twelve tribes of Israel, not a Palestinian state.

Before the theocracy of the twelve tribes of Israel, there was an agglomeration of independent Canaanite City-Kingdoms, not a Palestinian state.

The Jewish finally have a home, they have the right to defend it and over, the past years, they have also had to defend themselves. Now we are having to defend ourselves, here.

WE ALL need to unite against this hate. In my opinion, these

terrorist groups which include far right Hammas, White Supremacists, KKK, Skin Heads, Neo-Nazi, Proud Boys, sadly, the far left Antifa and BLM Movements, which have been hijacked by extremists and are simply groups fueled by feeding lies to individuals, that are disenfranchised.

The combination of the former President, not standing strong against these hate groups and economic unrests have added fuel to this fire, that needs to be put out, now. Social media and the cowardly trolls, hiding behind their computers, spewing out, lie after lie, need to be called out and stopped.

I also saw this, on my visit to the Middle East for Government and Leadership matters regarding Israel and the commitment to education and matters of economic success. The stark

contrast to Israeli cities to others, across the border, are real. In Saudi Arabia, the King has set into place an economic development plan to build their county.

Investments in educational and Economic Centers are making a difference in the lives of their constituents.

These countries need to focus on investing in their people, not guns and missiles to annihilate Israel.

As always, feel free to contact me anytime with your questions, concerns and ideas to make our City, a great place to live work and play! I am available on my phone or by text at: (954) 632-5700. On my e-mail at: jcooper@cohb.org.

No College?

From Page 1A could have killed during the same 35-week period.

One of the commenters on the ACHA’s recommendation wrote: “It is perfectly reasonable for a society to expect its members, *all* of its members, to take up such risks on behalf of everyone. Unless you plan on putting a bullet in your own head on your thirty ninth birthday, one day *you* will be that elderly person who benefits disproportionately from universal vaccination.

To not accept that risk now, yet expect that protection later, would make you a hypocrite.”

So much for the parental instinct to protect children instead of using or sacrificing them!

We do not know the precise number of post-vaccine “adverse events,” because of incomplete reporting, or the percentage that were caused by the jab and not coincidental. But, one can see the number and types of events reported to the U.S. Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) or the more user-friendly British Yellow Card system. These include death, clotting or bleeding problems, paralysis, blindness and miscarriages (213 in VAERS as of today).

The long-term adverse events cannot yet be known. The prospect of most concern to the young women calling our office is infertility. There is no evidence that the products currently available cause infertility and, there is also, no evidence that they don’t.

There are plausible reasons to worry. Viral spiked Proteins have been found in the placentas of mothers who gave birth after having COVID. The spiked Proteins themselves, without any

“It is unlawful to use coercion to gain acceptance of products available only through an Emergency Use Authorization, but colleges are confident of quick FDA approval, even though trials won’t be complete until 2022 or 2023.” Jane M. Orient, M.D. virus, can attach to the lining of blood vessels, many tissues, even cross the blood-brain barrier and wreak havoc.

Getting your own body to make spiked Proteins is what these genetically engineered products do.

Concerning fertility, the one relevant animal experiment, in 1,273 Sprague-Dawley rats, showed a numerically lower pregnancy rate, but within the facility’s historical range. The rats were not injected in early pregnancy when organs are forming, in order to check for birth defects.

There are thousands of reports of menstrual irregularities, though these are not officially recognized as side effects, many things including anxiety can affect the menstrual cycle and there are worries disseminated in social media but debunked by fact-checkers that menstrual problems and other

effects can result from contact with vaccinated people.

The Vaccine-induced spiked Proteins are supposed to stay attached to your cells and cause your body to make antibodies that will recognize the virus. Can they be shed into the environment and picked up by others by contact or inhalation? I don’t know of a mechanism, but, it seems odd to me that the Pfizer experimental trials not only excluded women who were or might soon become pregnant, but also required men to abstain or use a condom for 28 days post injection.

Just FDA bureaucracy and “abundance of caution”?

There is no abundance of caution in forcing this product onto students entering their prime reproductive years. No concern about “reproductive rights.”

It is unlawful to use coercion to gain acceptance of products

available only through an Emergency Use Authorization, but colleges are confident of quick FDA approval, even though trials won’t be complete until 2022 or 2023.

The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons has written to college administrators urging them to withdraw the mandate but has received no reply. Grants from ACHA, which receives grants from Pfizer and the CDC, probably talk louder.

So, what can students do? Be cheerful or reluctant participants in a massive uncontrolled experiment and hope for the best?

Seek an exemption? Or pause their education plans and their outrageous tuition fees?

There are “help wanted” signs everywhere, for learning, there are libraries, more on-line opportunities will spring up and a college degree may be unnecessary or it can wait. The biological window for having a family will

close. How much risk of infertility should young people take?

Orient, M.D. obtained her undergraduate degrees in chemistry and mathematics from the University of Arizona in Tucson and her M.D. from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, in 1974.

Patriots Support Israel & COHB Retaining Sanitation Department

By Beverly Carawan - Hallandale & the Beaches Patriots are all about actively taking stands on issues not only in our City but Statewide, Nationally and Internationally.

On May 23rd, 2021 a group of members joined to rally with Israelis, Jews and Christians from all over to cheer, dance, pray and hear Passionate speakers. The enthusiasm and the love of Israel, was indeed, palpable.

Learning of several City Commissioners’ proposals to ”farm out” the Sanitation Department, angered several members. The awesome sanitation department in our City, not only provides garbage collection and other services, they also help in times of natural disasters, to help secure our City and help clean up debris, afterwards.

compelling presentation on what every conservative American patriot, parent and grandparent must know –“Taking Back America’s Children” brings wisdom, insight and an action plan on protecting our next generation of American leadership, turning

Breakthrough Stimulator to Treat Sleep Apnea Based on a patient’s unique breathing patterns, Inspire delivers a mild stimulation to the hypoglossal nerve, which controls tongue movement and prevents the tongue from blocking the airway.

A good night’s sleep doesn’t come easy to the more than 22 million Americans who suffer from obstructive sleep apnea, which occurs when soft tissues in the airway collapse during sleep and block the flow of oxygen to the brain. The brain senses a lack of oxygen and wakes up the body just long enough to take a breath, causing a cycle of poor, disruptive sleep.

“A lack of sleep can be detrimental to our body, but sleep

The person must either: 1. Because of illness or injury - need the aid of supportive devices such as crutches, canes, wheelchairs and walkers; the use of special transportation; or the assistance of another person in order to leave their place of residence. OR 2. Have a condition such that leaving his or her home is medically contraindicated. If one of these two conditions is met, the person must also have a normal inability to leave home and leaving home, must require a considerable and taxing effort.

apnea can lead to other health issues, including moodiness, memory loss, even strokes, heart attacks and death,” said Charles Zeller IV, D.O., an Otolaryngologist with the Broward Health Physician Group. “That’s why it’s so important to be treated for sleep apnea.”

Dr. Zeller is the first physician in the Broward Health system to utilize Inspire® Upper Airway Stimulation (UAS), the only FDAapproved implantable device to combat obstructive sleep apnea.

Inspire UAS is a less intrusive, more comfortable solution to obstructive sleep apnea.

Implanted in the body as an outpatient procedure, the small device is activated following a 30-day healing period. Working

inside the body with a patient’s natural breathing process, Inspire can combat certain types of obstructive sleep apnea, particularly in cases where a loss of muscle tone causes the tongue to fall back in the mouth.

Based on a patient’s unique breathing patterns, Inspire delivers a mild stimulation to the hypoglossal nerve, which controls tongue movement and prevents the tongue from blocking the airway. By stimulating these muscles, the airway remains open, during sleep.

Inspire is controlled by the patient using a small, handheld Inspire sleep remote that is turned on before bedtime and turned off in the morning.

Additionally, the patient can

pause therapy during the night, if needed and increase or decrease the therapy settings.

“There is tremendous demand for the Inspire stimulator,” said Dr. Zeller. “Unlike other common treatments, with Inspire there is no mask, no hose and no noise.”

Most patients can resume non-strenuous activities within a few days after the short pro-

cedure and may experience an improved quality of life and daytime functioning.

rida Department of Health in Broward, in partnership with municipalities and community organizations, have scheduled a series of “pop-up” Vaccination Sites on various days and locations throughout the community (broward.org/CoronaVirus/ Documents/Pop-Up-Spot.pdf).

A Restoration Company such as 1st Priority Restoration is usually the first company to call following significant damage to a home from floods, water damage, sewage backup and other major water events.

The job of a restoration company is to clean up the mess and to preserve and protect the home and its contents so that further damage will not occur.

1st Priority From Page 1A your insurance. Regardless of the cause, restoration professionals are called upon to repair water damage, mold damage and restore flooded properties.

The water damage restoration process is highly regulated in order to ensure that properties damaged by flood or sewer events, can be effectively restored to a safe space for a homeowner to remain safe during the cleanup. You need a company such as 1st Priority Restoration who you can trust to do the job correctly.

The process is simple, when 1st Priority Restoration arrives, they will thoroughly walk through your home and discuss the areas that need to be cleaned & restored to their original condition. Your insurance company adjuster or claim representative may recommend what and how your home should be cleaned, but in the end, it is your decision to make. In the past year, we have all heard the word “Mitigation” more times than we can count, but with water damage, that is exactly what needs to be done. Water damage restoration does not stop at restoring your real estate back to proper functioning. The professionals at 1st Priority will inspect the underlying causes that have caused the water damage in the first place and make sure there won’t be a reoccurrence. They will repair all of the damaged structures and replace the materials to make your property safe, for years to come.

If your property has been exposed to water damage, you may have to do water mitigation.

Strict actions are required in water mitigation, such as: removal of damaged materials such as drywall and flooring.

Molds and mildew that have accumulated in areas in your property will be disinfected and deodorized to restore a healthy environment. Further cleaning and deodorizing should be done to make sure that your real estate is back in tip-top shape.

Water damage mitigation should happen immediately after flooding or water buildup. Take action immediately, because letting your property sit in water can cause further damages and expenses. Materials soaking in water collect microbes and spread water-borne diseases.

Furniture, wood flooring and walls will crack, sag and collect

fungi after prolonged exposure to moisture. If your property is particularly old, it may be time to replace materials such as pipes to prevent a reoccurrence of water damage. If pipes are behind walls, it may require more extensive repairs.

The water mitigation process will depend on how long your property has been exposed to water. Air humidifiers and drying equipment must be turned on around the clock in areas with severe water damage. Mold spores are especially dangerous to health and thorough cleaning and disinfecting should be done as part of the water damage mitigation. It is advisable to get the temperature, humidity and moisture of your property tested to see if it has been restored to normal standards, 1st Priority professionals can handle the entire process. After 1st Priority Restoration evaluates the work and equipment needed to clean your home, they will provide you with an estimate or contract for their services.

your home through open doorways, windows, vents, heating and air conditioning systems.

Mold in the outside air can also attach itself to clothing, shoes, bags and pets, which can be carried indoors. Mold will grow in places with a lot of moisture, such as around leaks in roofs, windows, pipes or where there has been flooding. Mold grows well on paper products, cardboard, ceiling tiles and wood products. Mold can also grow in dust, paints, wallpaper, insulation, drywall, carpet, fabric and upholstery. With all of the rain and storms we have been having these past months, you can see a pattern of mold growth that will last. From leaks, flooding and driving rain, mold growth is a certainty in South Florida. If you are concerned that you might have a mold or mildew problem, it is best to call the professionals for a complete evaluation of your home. Your health is your most important asset, so just like you go see a doctor for a test, your home needs testing as well.

Leak Detection: One tiny water leak can create huge problems in a home or business. An undetected water pipe leak will not only dramatically increase your utility bills, but it can also lead to even more expensive water damage and mold. If you’ve had higher than average water bills, constantly have to refill your pool or hear running water, it’s time to call the leak detection specialists at 1st Priority Restoration! Is water pipe leak detection possible if the pipes are behind a wall? Yes, using the newest state-of-the-art detection tools, highly trained technicians are able to locate water pipe leaks that are hidden behind walls. They can even provide water plumbing leak detection within concrete slab foundations. Will insurance cover the cost of plumbing leak detection services? That all depends on your home’s insurance plan. In many situations, when there is a need for water damage restoration, many insurance companies will cover the related costs. 1st Priority Restoration representatives can work directly with your home insurance company to verify the need for the plumbing leak detection service, cause of the problem and the repairs that will be required to remedy the situation.

Never Fool Around With Mold & Mildew: When it comes to mold and mildew, we cannot take those potential hazards lightly. A mold problem can cause you to experience dizziness, anxiety, depression and even hallucinations. If you have been experiencing a diminished attention span or problems with your memory, it might be a good idea to have your home inspected for black mold by a mold remediation crew. For people sensitive to mold, inhaling or touching mold spores can cause allergic reactions, including sneezing, runny nose, red eyes and skin rashes.

People with serious mold allergies may have more severe reactions, including shortness of breath. At 1st Priority Restoration, this is what they do 365 days a year, nobody knows how to prevent potential dangers like they do. By dialing: 1 (800) 6171112 – you can save financially and your health as well!

Mold And Your Home: Mold is found both indoors and outdoors. Mold can enter

Very Important Information: There are some important ways that we can prevent the spread of mold and what you can do to get rid of it. Keep an eye out for hidden leaks: Wet spots on your ceiling, the baseboards or on the floor are a telltale sign of a leaky pipe or roof.

Your home’s pipes are behind drywall, which can leave a small leak unnoticed. Mold can grow behind those walls and filter into

the air through ducts or pipes. At 1st Priority, they can come in and assess the situation before it gets worse. Did you know that many air conditioner systems/ ducts are susceptible to mold growth? They often trap moisture, creating a breeding ground for spores. Bathrooms, kitchens and laundry rooms create a lot of excess heat and humidity, especially here in south Florida – whether it is from a shower, stove or even a dryer, all of these areas should be well ventilated.

Education is key to anything – when our health is at stake – knowing that mold spores can lay dormant for years after they are produced and could begin growing again at any time, it is extremely important to know.

Because of this, regular cleanings and having 1st Priority Restoration to depend on, will certainly make our lives much easier. Ever wonder why you or your children wake up coughing and sneezing on a regular basis?

The CDC may have the answer.

According to the CDC, in 2004 the Institute of Medicine (IOM) found that there was sufficient evidence to link indoor exposure to mold with upper respiratory tract symptoms, coughing, sneezing and wheezing in otherwise healthy people and in individuals susceptible with compromised immune conditions.

Mold or mold spores may cause asthma attacks in people who have asthma and are allergic to mold. Even in some nonallergic individuals, mold can cause symptoms of irritation in the eyes, skin and airways. For example, the “black mold” Stachybotrys, along with some other types of mold, produce toxins known as mycotoxins that can cause irritation of the skin and airways in susceptible individuals. Sometimes, people may develop severe reactions to mold exposure, but cleaning and sanitizing by professionals can help mitigate the health issues.

According to Cherie Wachter at the adoption center, “sleepovers give potential adopters the opportunity to see how the pet they selected will blend in with their family. It also gives the pets a break from being in the shelter. We started doing sleepovers on a limited basis when the Pandemic started last March and have had great success with it. More than two dozen pets were adopted as a result, including Marvel – a fabulously fun American bulldog mix who is deaf. His new family adores him.”

Pets typically available for sleepovers are those that have been passed by for no apparent reason. Once in a home environment, they relax and just want to be part of the family. In order to take home one of the select sleepover pets, a $50 deposit is

If you would like to see other furry friends up for adoption today, go to: Dogs: humanebroward.com/dogs/ Cats: humanebroward.com/cats/ Other Pets: humanebroward.com/other/ Preparing to Adopt: If you lease your home, check with your landlord before adopting to be sure you are allowed to have a pet and can afford all required pet deposits. Pets are sometimes returned because of lease restrictions and/or the landlord’s disapproval of the pet chosen. This can be an expensive lesson, since the adoption fees are non-refundable and being returned to the shelter can be a stressful experience for the animal, as well, other members of your household should be aware you want to add a pet and should meet the pet before you decide to adopt. Every member of the family needs to consider, does anyone have allergies, are other members of the household,

costs include: adoption fees, food, grooming, obedience training, pet supplies, licensing, additional veterinary care such as diagnostic testing and preventative medication and these costs, can easily be $200-400 or more, within the first few weeks of adoption.

The adoption representatives at the Humane Society of Broward County recommend that you do not immediately expose your existing pets to a new pet.

Consider how you will manage an isolation period, be sure that all existing pets are up to date on vaccinations and other routine health care before bringing a new pet, home.

Facilitating positive pet-to-pet introductions will require some management on your part too.

Not all pets are instant friends and may require temporary or intermittent separation to ensure a smooth transition. Some pets are happy to share their home
